Hold my bacon, one can patent the idea that a game character switches mounts depending on a given state? (Image 3)

The “Ready Player One” approach might also help.

During university I gave additional lessons for lower semesters and at times had to juggle three languages: Java, Typescript and plain JavaScript for that one professor who thought TS sucks.

Coding on the spot got really messy at times.

Which alternatives do you recommend?

It is still open source. However, it is not free software anymore.

AT MOST 5 a week and there are also weeks where I receive none at all. Interestingly it always seems to be the same type of spam from different adresses so there is probably a bot net somewhere that has my address and every month or so when the owners start a new wave I get a few and thats it.

On the other hand how many false positives have you had to pick out of the bin?

I am using my mail provider’s standard filter and at most I get 5 mails per week that make it through. And that’s with my mail being publicly available on my personal website. Not sure what sort of sites people sign up for, but spam has never been an issue, even away from Google.

I guess someone translated a Chinese figure of speech literally.

As is tradition. The first image transferred over the internet-precursor was also a cat picture.

Loads fine for me.

Tbf, it really started to go downhill, when they got bought up.

I am generally in favor of a subscription model as opposed to the whole loot box crap, cause you know beforehand what you get and what it costs. Yes, it creates some FOMO, but this was partly balanced out by the passive skill training system.

Its just too expel sive to be fun.

I have a reoccurring “nightmare” in which I try to get back into EVE, log in, notice I logged out in a high value ship in the middle of null sec and struggle with the overview. Had a lot of fun playing for a couple of years, though.

I will give bluesky credit for their focus on moderation.

Watch that focus disappear once the enshittification phase starts.

For me, it is a glorified auto-complete function. Could definitely live without it.

*furiously waves book around*

Your head is going to hurt even more if you are a German: The prefix “ent” usually means to lose or get rid of something. I.e. “I got rid of it” -> “Ich habe es entsorgt” so everytime I read “enshittification” I had to remind myself it’s the process of making something worse not better.

So “disenshittification” is a double knot in my brain. I propose “disshittification” as alternative.

The Chaos Computer Club Initiative Chaos macht Schule might be able to help you with some materials and guidance.

It’s different so I don’t like it! That’s at least until I am used to them in 2-5 days.

On more serious note: The delta/up/down count section on posts looks a bit overloaded to me. Not sure what I would change though.

Good point!

Now hold my beer for a second, English is just my second language, but “built” is past tense for “build”, isn’t it?

• They build a trailer filled with AI → Present tense, i.e. they are doing it right now
• They built a trailer filled with AI → Past tense, i.e. the trailer is finished.
